Ball Chair - Evan's exercise ball

I'm always on the lookout for ways to make myself better, to make my business better, and recently when I was on my cruise ship, I found an exercise ball. You can see one here, and I found when I sat on it, my posture was a lot better. You have to really sit on these things straight or you fall off, and I don't like sitting down in general as a rule. I use a stand-up desk. I like standing up because it's, it's better for your back, better for my knees. But sometimes I sit down at my boardroom table and I used to use a chair.

I'll show you what happens.

So I run Mastermind meetings, it's a group of entrepreneurs that get together once a month, and that's usually when I sit down in my chair. And I found like as the meeting goes on, I'm leaning like this, or I'm slouching over, and I end up hurting my back because there's this big slouch to it, or I'm like this and relaxing. And again, it's not great for you. and it doesn't look great either. So what I'm trying now is using an exercise ball. So I just bought this thing, I'm gonna test it out for my meetings, and if I bring it in, see, as I sit down on it, it forces you— let's do this angle— to have a straight back. See how I'm moving still? So my lower body is still a little bit engaged, and I can still sit at the height of the table. But if I try to lean, if I try to do this, I actually just cracked my back, I'm going to fall. So it forces you to have good posture and to keep your body moving a little bit, so a lot better for you than your traditional chair. So I'm going to test this out and use it for the meetings that I have in here. The other thing I found is when I bought this, the thing moves around. So when you're not sitting on it, it kind of moves around, and I didn't want the this ball moving around my office, so I wanted to find a stand, and these stands can be pricey, but I didn't want something too ghetto. What I ended up doing was I actually— so this is my stand here, and it just stays here, but all I did to make this look nice was I went to Walmart and I got a dog dish. I just got one of these dog dishes that you have for big dogs. I don't know, 10 bucks, and I use that as my stand. So I can put that there and it stays in place. So that's my lifestyle tip of the day. If you guys find it interesting, you want to see more of these kinds of things that I'm into, let me know, I'll make a video response.
